some juicy ebay-auctions

I guess I did my bidding LOL
I just was sick of these GBP 2.0 bids
Eighter you want them or you don’t and if you want them you should know the price you are willing to pay.
I don’t think they will go under GBP 300.00 anyway.

Mithril Mw347 Half-orcs of Saruman – complete set LotR

Current bid: GBP 206.00 (approximately AU $359.84)

………….. ! Damn ! 😡 ….

I think trhe price will end up higher than that. The Buy-It-Now auctions were here and gone in the blink of an eyelid, and to a great extent only those of us ‘in the know’ were even aware of them. Consequently this group represent the first opportunity for the majority of collectors to lay hands on them (always supposing that there are other collectors, and that we’re not the only Mithril anoraks in the world…). The outcome will be interesting.

well once I added GBP 100 on top of the Aragorn, to be outbid by the second… at the last second…
so you may as well add whatever you want, but if you do so too soon you will only artificially increase the price because I’m sure there are collectors out there, not many but a few, who have “limitless funds”… We just have to hope/pray these rich “benefactors” are not versed into piracy or reproducing them to get money afterwards…

Only if what they want is available.

tss tss my dear christoph, this goes against mithril and more especially Chris Tubb way of thinking… reproducing them would affect direly their collector value… though Chris wants to be a fair guy he also want to be fair towards those collectors who would be more than upset to see the value of their collection quite totally lessened. That’s what piracy does, and that’s also why he banishes piracy…

if mithril did share the idea, when the suggestion to REmake the M16 was brought, it would not have been refused at once… and that’s understandable…

beside, if they were not released in the first place it was because Mithril does not have licence for wargaming , that later became the juridiction of Games Workshop and could not, nowadays be shared with them… this reason was also the one that make the MW336 and MW337 disappear VERY fast from the shelves….
I was lucky enough to buy genuine blistered packs of the two original warbands while on a trip to London… I did not even was aware they were mithril at first because of the odd packaging lol

but that’s off topic

….in theory there are no difference between those soldiers… they only have different faces

Gees, I don’t think anyone bidding on these MW”s is going to reproduce them for whatever reason!
You buy that set and then reproduce them and sell them for € 45.00 a piece on ebay??? Get real, it doesn’t even work with DD who bought them direct from Chris!
It is what it is … a collectors item and we all know how many are around of these halforcs. It would be very suspicious if there would be figures showing up on ebay.
And Gildor, Christoph was only saying that there would be no difference if these halforcs would have been released as single numbered figures to the single numbered soldiers from Lossernach. But flexibility is not the strength of Mithril as we all know.

Right Gildor – And: thank you Holger!

It makes you wonder how many twos equal four, doesn’t it? Or perhaps we’re supposed by MEE to have too few brain cells to figure out that all we have to do before we can wargame is buy lots of individual figures rather than a couple of boxes. Ah, the absurdity of the corporate mind…assuming it has one.
